The Wrong Word Entirely, # 54

The front page of last Friday’s Guardian ‘Sport’ section contained a lovely mangle. Pop Spencer, who spotted it, comments: ‘Seems like Mancini hasn’t had a doubt for years.’

Link: The Guardian, ‘Balotelli must accept Liverpool behaviour clauses to make move’

The error was quickly corrected in the web version, but News Sniffer shows it was wrong at first posting (Version 0, 2014-08-21 21:50:40 UTC). Rather oddly, the paragraph also features, word-for-originally-wrong-word, in the Irish Times.

confident for confidant
